Can I roast a pork loin in a glass baking dish?!


Question: I wasn't sure if it will shatter the dish or not.

Thx!

Pyrex glass is made to withstand high heat temperatures. Most glass will begin melting at 500 degrees. As a chef I recommend you use a aluminum baking tray.

if it's made for the oven , go ahead

as long as it's "ovenproof I do it all the time

Yes you can roast a pork loin in a glass baking dish, I lay down some aluminum foil first for easier cleanup--no stuck on grease that is hard to clean off.

It won't shatter in a Pyrex or Anchor Hocking tempered dish. I use a baking bag to contain the mess of roasting and toss it after draining the cooking juices, with an almost clean dish left behind..

it will be fine, but i would line the dish with foil!

it fine do all the time. go ahead.

Yes, but it takes longer than if you use a metal pan or boil it on top of the stove in water, as I do mine. Makes it a lot more tender.

Yes as long as it is Pyrex or similar.

I've shattered several glass dishes by roasting a specific recipe of pork loin. That recipe calls for pouring room temperature wine over the roast at several points in the roasting process. I seem to shatter a glass dish every time I use this recipe so now use metal. (Those were anchor hocking by the way so I now only buy pyrex)

If you are just roasting it without adding items that are different in temperature from what is in the pan you should be fine.

ovenproof? not a problem

If the dish is ovenproof, and you aren't basting the loin with hammers or other heavy blunt instruments, you should be okay.

Sure! Just make sure it's tempered glass (like Pyrex) and was originally designed to go in the oven to begin with.

I don't think it will shatter. I normally wrap up the tenderloin in foil and slow cook it at about about 325° for several hours. Or some times if it is small enough I put it in my crock pot and cook it all day. Either way it turns out really moist, and almost falls apart.
Happy cooking!!!

I wouldn't roast it. Bake it maybe, but roasting at high temps, could possibly break it. I baked some scalloped potatoes and 475 one time and my glass baking pan shattered. Maybe mine had a fine crack or something. Anyway, ever since that incident, I only use glass for baking at lower temps.
